उत्तररामचरितम् (महाकवि भवभूति - संस्कृत मूल एवं हिन्दी व्याख्या)

engaged in fighting with a third person 'नायुध्यमानं पश्यन्तं न परेण समागतम्' मनु० VII 62. It will be seen that Lava selects the three actions in Rama's career that are most open to criticism and charges Rama with having violated the code of honour prescribed for क्षत्रियs. This verse is cited in दशरूपक (I 45) under निरङ्कार. क्षेमेन्द्र in his औचित्यविचारचर्चा points out the impropriety on the part of भवभूति that he should lay stress upon the weak points in the career of the hero of his drama 'अत्राप्रधानस्य रामसूनोः कुमारलवस्य परप्रतापोपशमदर्शिनोदाररसोद्दीपनात् सकलप्र- बन्धजीवितावमूर्तभूतस्य प्रधाननायकस्य वीररसस्य नाट्यवादमसदरणादमरस- मन्वयरहसंमस्कवातिव्यापादनादिनानाविधोपादायमनिपादनेन स्ववचसा करिना विनाशन- ङ्गन् इत्यनुचितमेतत् ।' This is also condemned by the साहित्यदर्पण (VI) 'यत्त्पादतुचितं वस्तु नायकस्य रसस्य वा । विरुद्ध तत्परिहार्यं स्यादन्यथा वा प्रकल्पयेत् ॥ अनुचितमितिवृत्तं यथा रामस्य छद्मना वालिवधः । तन्मोदगवराघवे नोक्तमेव । वीरचरित्रे तु बाली रामवधाऽभ्यागतो रामेण हत इत्यन्यथा कृतः ॥' तातापवादेन भिन्ना मर्यादा येन who has committed a breach of good manners by reviling my father (to my face) प्रगल्भते braggest मय्येव सङ्कट-he has turned his frowning face on me एव has a force of its own. Lava means-'he has no reason to be angry with me, it is rather I who should be angry, being insulted by the escort of the horse' The reading ... is better than the one in the text वीर० explains: This line occurs in the ... their anger has been inflamed. Verse 35 चूडा वेपथु tremor caused by their intense feeling shakes the knot of the collection of their hair. तरलयति denominative verb from तरल ( a ly ) विचित्रा is to be connected either with सङ्कटे or रक्तदल The latter is preferable 'रक्तोऽब्जं कोकनदम्' इत्यमरः कोकनद ( कोशे घनच्छदा नदन्ति अस्मिन् ) तस्य च्छदं पर्णम्. 'दलं पर्णं छदं पुमान्' इत्यमरः रक्तदल become red धत्ते-the subject of this is वक्त्रम्, the object being कान्तिम् Construe अखण्डताण्डवितयोः भ्रुवोः भेदेन वक्त्रं चन्द्रस्य कमलस्य च कान्तिं धत्ते. कान्ति luster, beauty अखण्डताण्डवितयोः that began to dance all of a sudden भेदेन by the knitting सङ्कटं श्यामलम् यस्य-the spot on which is prominent उद्भ्रान्ता भृङ्गा यस्मिन्-on which the bees are hovering. On account of anger the boys knit their brows. Their handsome and round faces with the dark brows knit are fitly compared to the moon with the dark spot prominently visible upon it and to the white lotus on which dark bees are hovering. विटपांकुशाः, वि० वि० विशुद्धांकुशाः
